当静态初始化器试图加载一个在运行时不可用的资源包时，也会发生NoClassDefFoundError，例如受影响的类试图从META-INF目录加载一个属性文件，但不存在。如果你没有捕获NoClassDefFoundError，有时你将无法看到完整的堆栈跟踪;为了克服这个问题，你可以临时为Throwable使用一个catch子句:

try {
    // Statement(s) that cause(s) the affected class to be loaded
} catch (Throwable t) {
    Logger.getLogger("<logger-name>").info("Loading my class went wrong", t);
}

我从SRC库中删除了两个文件后得到了这个消息，当我把它们带回来时，我一直看到这个错误消息。

我的解决方案是:重新启动Eclipse。从那以后我就再没见过这条消息了:-)

我也遇到了同样的问题，我的存货积压了好几个小时。

我找到了解决办法。在我的例子中，有一个静态方法因此而定义。JVM不能创建该类的另一个对象。

例如,

private static HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost(proxyHost, Integer.valueOf(proxyPort), "http");

这是由于您的代码所依赖的类文件在编译时存在，但在运行时没有找到。寻找构建时和运行时类路径的差异。

如果有人因为java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Logger错误来到这里，在我的例子中，它是因为我使用了log4j 2(但我没有添加它附带的所有文件)，而一些依赖库使用了log4j 1。解决方案是添加Log4j 1。X桥:log4j-1.2-api-<version>.jar，随log4j 2而来。更多信息在log4j 2迁移中。

同一项目的两个不同的签出副本

In my case, the problem was Eclipse's inability to differentiate between two different copies of the same project. I have one locked on trunk (SVN version control) and the other one working in one branch at a time. I tried out one change in the working copy as a JUnit test case, which included extracting a private inner class to be a public class on its own and while it was working, I open the other copy of the project to look around at some other part of the code that needed changes. At some point, the NoClassDefFoundError popped up complaining that the private inner class was not there; double-clicking in the stack trace brought me to the source file in the wrong project copy.

关闭项目的主干副本并再次运行测试用例可以解决这个问题。
